Hi Martin
My answer below depends on the starting point at your PC.
I retrieved the list of installed plasma related packages using something
like:
dpkg -l | fgrep 5.2xy | awk '{ print $2 }' > toupgrade
[As my PC was on 5.21.0 I could use 5.21.0 in the fgrep, if you're at 5.20
you should use that of course.]
and then
apt install -t experimental `cat toupgrade`
Regards,
Luc
